Vintage Reissued V80 and V90 Bass Guitars

Keepers of the low end rumble will be spoilt for choice with the new range of bass guitars from Vintage.

With contemporary looks, ergonomic styling and Wilkinson designed pickups and hardware the new V80 and V90 bass guitars from Vintage really raise the bar.

The V80 has a 24 fret rosewood fingerboard, with a high access joint for the maple neck. Available in either  Boulevard Black or Golden Amber, it's simple, one Wilkinson WJBM pickup layout belies its massive tonal range and dynamic response.

The pickup is a clever crossbreed of traditional double and single coil design, and indeed you can switch between the two effortlessly thanks to the ingenious roll-control which gradually rolls out the fat powerhouse double coil to leave the bright and punchy single coil in all its glory. A master volume and master tone control complete the simplistic easy to use control layout.

If one pickup isn't enough, the Vintage V90 will rock your world with its twin pickup set up, giving you even more tonal variation and layout options. Available in Pearl White or Candy Apple Red, it comes with the same hard wearing, accurate and stable Wilkinson machine heads and classic, fully adjustable bridge with brass saddles for the ultimate in tone transfer.
